Treating Osteoporosis: What works for you?

I had questions about why Osteopenia wasn’t mentioned in my recent scan since I was diagnosed with it previously. Today I went and picked up my Dexa Scan report. The report says “Low bone density or low bone mass are used in lieu of Osteopenia.” I never realized the terminology had changed. I earlier posted my T score was -1. After reading the report nowhere is -T 1 mentioned. I don’t know why the receptionist told me that.
It says “Low bone density.” The lowest T-score is
-3.1 at the left femoral neck.”
So my question, is it Osteopenia Osteoporosis or what.
Thanks for any help.
Jake

@jakedduck1 That is a good question, Jake. I was not aware of any change in terminology regarding the Dexa Scan reports. Did your requesting doctor offer you any information?

I would be interested in hearing from others about this as well.
